EastSoft (047560), an artificial intelligence service company, announced preliminary results on the 25th showing consolidated revenue of 106.7 billion won and an operating loss of 189 billion won for 2025.
Revenue continued its growth trajectory, surpassing 100 billion won for the second consecutive year. Key drivers of revenue growth included solid performance from AI/software products such as Perso AI and ALTools, expansion of the education business leveraging internalized AI capabilities, increased assets under management in the asset management business, and the launch effect of new game titles.
The operating loss widened due to accelerated infrastructure investment for AI services and products. However, these investments enabled the company to establish a robust AI service lineup centered on Perso AI, Perso Interactive, and Alan. The company completed its own GPU farm to reduce cloud costs, while Perso Interactive, a real-time conversational AI human service, strengthened its profitability structure through on-device utilization.
Perso Interactive, currently offered as finished products in kiosk and tablet formats, is growing rapidly amid rising demand for physical AI. Adoption has surged among domestic and international companies and institutions including NTT, Samsung Electronics, KT, SK Hynix, Daewoo E&C, POSCO Holdings, and regional education offices.
EastSoft expects to achieve both revenue growth through AI business expansion and profitability improvement this year.
Additionally, the company confirmed its advancement to the second phase of the government's proprietary AI foundation model project as part of the LG AI Research consortium, strengthening efforts to build a nationwide AI transformation (AX) lifecycle ecosystem. EastSoft plans to create synergies between the proprietary model and its popular software products.
The company also forecasts continued growth from the successful AI transformation of ALTools, its existing cash cow, global expansion of products such as ALPDF, and the game business which has begun showing results from new title launches.
An EastSoft official said, "The profitability burden from preemptive AI business investment is gradually showing leverage effects as the revenue share of core AI services expands and the fixed cost structure stabilizes." The official added, "As we are entering a phase where investment results translate into business performance, we expect this year to be a turning point where revenue growth and profitability improvement occur simultaneously."
